Police found what they described as an "elaborate" marijuana-growing operation inside a Keizer home Saturday and confiscated all the illegal plants and equipment.


Officers were serving a warrant at 995 Sagrada Circle North after getting a tip from a concerned citizen, according to Capt. Jeffrey Kuhns with the Keizer Police Department.


"Upon making entry into the residence officers discovered what they characterized as an elaborate indoor marijuana grow with 23 mature Marijuana plants, and 46 seedlings. There was a total of 299.3 grams of dried harvested Marijuana bud, 437 grams of dried non-harvested Marijuana bud, 829.7 grams of dried mature Marijuana plants, and 2253 grams of Marijuana 'shake,'" Kuhns said.


Police also found and confiscated equipment including digital scales, packaging material and special lights to help the marijuana grow faster.


"Robert Anderson and Stacee Beaver were both present inside the residence when the search warrant was executed. Robert Anderson admitted the Marijuana grow was his, and additional evidence found within the residence suggested Stacee Beaver had assisted with the growing operation," Kuhns added.


Officers arrested Anderson and Beaver, although they were both Oregon Medical Marijuana card holders, because "the number of mature Marijuana plants and seedlings exceeds the number allowable by law," Kuhns explained.


Anderson and Beaver were both charged with one count of manufacturing of a controlled substance and one count of manufacturing of a controlled substance within 1000 feet of a school because Keizer Elementary School is located just to the south of 995 Sagrada Circle North.
